Lore & Background
When awakened, the fruit transcends standard Zoan limitations, allowing the user to affect their environment as if it were their own rubber body. Clouds can be punched like balloons, lightning can be grabbed like a rope, and opponents' attacks can be bounced back with cartoonish physics. This form is characterized by white flames of liberation, silver hair, and a rhythmic drumbeat known as the 'Drums of Liberation,' signaling the arrival of dawn and freedom.
In Their Own Story
The battlefield fell silent as the giant's fist descended, yet the small pirate did not flinch. Instead, he laughed, his body stretching impossibly wide before snapping back with a bounce that defied gravity. The air itself seemed to ripple, turning the gray sky into a canvas of vibrant colors. With a grin that could light up the darkest night, he punched the ground, sending a shockwave of pure joy that turned the stone floor into soft rubber, freeing everyone from their chains and despair.
